Acts 10
1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
Nʼoge ahụ, o nwere otu nwoke bi na Sizaria, aha ya bụ Kọnelịọs. O bụ ọchịagha na-elekọta narị ndị agha si na mpaghara Itali.
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
Nwoke a na ezinaụlọ ya bụ ndị na-asọpụrụ ma na-atụkwa egwu Chineke. Ọ na-enyere ndị ogbenye aka na-ekpekwara Chineke mgbe niile.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
Otu ụbọchị, nʼihe dịka elekere atọ nke ehihie, ọ hụrụ ọhụ ebe otu mmụọ ozi nke Chineke bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Kọnelịọs!”
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Kọnelịọs lekwasịrị ya anya nʼegwu jụọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ gịnị?” Ọ sịrị ya, “Ekpere gị na onyinye gị nye ndị ogbenye e rutela dịka ihe ncheta nʼihu Chineke.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
Ugbu a, zie ndị ikom ka ha gaa nʼobodo Jopa kpọta otu onye aha ya bụ Saimọn, onye a na-akpọkwa Pita.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
Ọ bụ ọbịa nʼụlọ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Saimọn, onye na-edozi akpụkpọ anụ. Onye ụlọ ya dị nʼakụkụ osimiri.”
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
Mgbe mmụọ ozi ahụ gwara ya okwu pụrụ, ọ kpọrọ ndị ohu ya abụọ na otu nʼime ndị agha na-eche ya nche nke na-atụkwa egwu Chineke.
8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
Mgbe ọ kọchara ha ihe niile, o zigara ha Jopa.
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
Nʼechi ya, mgbe ha nọ nso nʼebe ahụ, nʼihe dịka elekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie, Pita rigooro nʼelu ụlọ ahụ ikpe ekpere.
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
Agụụ bidoro ịgụ ya, ọ chọọ ihe ọ ga-eri. Ma mgbe a na-akwado nri, ọ hụrụ ọhụ.
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
Ọ hụrụ ka eluigwe meghere, hụkwa ihe dịka akwa ọcha dị obosara nke e sitere nʼakụkụ anọ ya na-ewedata nʼala.
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Ihe dị nʼime ya: bụ ụmụ anụmanụ dị iche iche, ndị nwere ụkwụ anọ, ma anụ ndị na-akpụ akpụ nʼala na ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ nụrụ olu na-asị, “Pita bilie, gbuo ma riekwa.”
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is profane or unclean.
Ma Pita sịrị, “Mba, Onyenwe m. Ọ dịbeghị mgbe m riri ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ maọbụ nke na-adịghị ọcha.”
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou profane.
Olu ahụ gwara ya nke ugboro abụọ, “Akpọla ihe ọbụla ihe rụrụ arụ bụ nke Chineke mere ka ọ dị ọcha.”
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
Ihe a mere ugboro atọ, ngwangwa, e weghachikwara ya nʼeluigwe.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
Mgbe Pita nọ na-atule ihe ọhụ ahụ pụtara bụ nke gbakwara ya gharịị, lee, ndị ikom ahụ Kọnelịọs zipụrụ abịarutela kwụsị nʼọnụ ụzọ, na-ajụ ebe ụlọ Saimọn dị.
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
Ha kpọrọ oku ịjụ ma Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Pita ọ nọ nʼụlọ ahụ.
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Ka Pita nọrịị na-atụgharị uche nʼihe ọhụ ahụ pụtara, Mmụọ Nsọ gwara ya, “Lee, mmadụ atọ guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ugbu a. Ha chọkwara ịhụ gị.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Bilie, rịda jekwuru ha ngwangwa, enwela obi abụọ ị soro ha gawa, nʼihi na ọ bụ m zitere ha.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
Pita jekwuru ndị ikom ahụ, sị, “Ọ bụ m bụ onye unu na-achọ, gịnị ka unu na-achọrọ m?”
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụ Kọnelịọs onyeisi agha na-elekọta narị ndị agha zitere anyị. Ọ bụ onye ezi omume nke na-atụ egwu Chineke, bụrụkwa onye ndị Juu niile na-asọpụrụ. Mmụọ ozi dị nsọ gwara ya ka ọ kpọta gị nʼụlọ ya, ịnụ ihe i nwere ikwu.”
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Ya mere, ọ kpọbatara ha nʼụlọ dịka ndị ọbịa. Echi ya, o biliri soro ha gawa, ụfọdụ ndị kwere ekwe na Jopa sokwara ya gaa.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
Nʼụbọchị na-esota ya, ha bịaruru Sizaria. Kọnelịọs nọrịị na-eche ha, ya na ndị ezinaụlọ ya, na ndị ikwu na ibe ya, na ndị enyi ya ọ kpọrọ.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
Mgbe Pita batara, Kọnelịọs zutere ya, daa nʼala nʼụkwụ ya, kpọọrọ ya isi nʼala.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
Ma Pita selitara ya elu sị, “Bilie ọtọ, mụ onwe m bụkwa mmadụ.”
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
Mgbe ha na-ekwurịta okwu, ọ banyere nʼime ụlọ ma hụ igwe mmadụ ka ha zukọtara.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu maara nke ọma na ọ bụ ihe megidere iwu na onye Juu na onye mba ọzọ ga-enwe mmekọrịta maọbụ gaa leta onye mba ọzọ. Ma Chineke ezila m na m ekwesighị ịkpọ mmadụ ọbụla onye rụrụ arụ maọbụ onye na-adịghị ọcha.
29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụ ya mere m jiri bịa mgbe akpọrọ m na-ajụghị ajụjụ. Ma ka m jụọ ugbu a ihe mere unu ji kpọọ m?”
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Kọnelịọs sịrị, “Nʼụbọchị anọ gara aga, mgbe m nọ na-ekpe ekpere nʼoge ehihie nʼụlọ m, nʼihe dịka elekere atọ, na mberede, ahụrụ m nwoke yi uwe na-enwu ọcha ka o guzoro nʼihu m.
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
Ọ sịrị, Kọnelịọs, ‘Chineke anụla ekpere gị ma chetakwa onyinye ị na-enye ndị ogbenye.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
Ziga nʼobodo Jopa nʼụlọ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Saimọn, onye na-edozi akpụkpọ anụ. O bi nʼakụkụ osimiri.’ Nʼebe ahụ ha ga-ahụkwa otu onye ọbịa aha ya bụ Saimọn a na-akpọ Pita.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji mee ngwangwa zie ka a kpọọ gị. Ọ dị mma na ị bịara. Ugbu a, anyị niile ezukọtala nʼebe a nʼihu Chineke ịnụrụ ihe niile Onyenwe anyị chọrọ ka ị gwa anyị.”
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Mgbe ahụ Pita meghere ọnụ ya sị, “Ugbu a, aghọtala m nʼezie na Chineke abụghị onye na-ele mmadụ anya nʼihu.
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Kama nʼime mba ọbụla, onye ọbụla na-atụ egwu ya na onye na-arụ ọrụ ezi omume ka ọ na-anabata.
36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: ( he is Lord of all: )
Unu maara ihe banyere oziọma ahụ o zigaara ndị Izrel niile, nke na-akọ akụkọ oziọma nke udo site na Jisọs Kraịst onye bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihe niile.
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Okwu ahụ gbasara nʼala Judịa niile, malite na Galili mgbe Jọn kwusachara baptizim nke ya.
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Otu Chineke si were Mmụọ Nsọ na ike wụkwasị Jisọs onye Nazaret dịka mmanụ, na otu o si jegharịa na-eme mma na-agwọkwa ndị niile ekwensu na-emekpa ahụ, nʼihi na Chineke nọnyeere ya.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
“Anyị bụ ndị akaebe ihe niile o mere nʼala ndị Juu na nʼime Jerusalem. Ha gburu ya site nʼịkpọgide ya nʼelu obe.
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Ma Chineke mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilite mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị. E mekwara ka ndị mmadụ hụ ya anya.
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
Ọ bụghị mmadụ niile kama ọ bụ naanị anyị ndị Chineke họpụtara, dịka ndị akaebe, ndị soro ya rie ma ṅụọkwa mgbe o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
O nyere anyị iwu ka anyị gaa zisaa oziọma nʼebe niile, ịkọwa na ọ bụ ya ka Chineke họpụtara ịbụ onye ikpe nke ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Ndị amụma niile gbara ama ihe banyere ya na onye ọbụla nke kweere na ya ga-enweta mgbaghara mmehie site nʼaha ya.”
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Mgbe Pita nọ na-ekwu okwu, Mmụọ Nsọ bịakwasịrị ndị niile nụrụ okwu a.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Nke a juru ndị e biri ugwu nʼetiti ndị kwere ekwe soro Pita bịa anya otu e siri mee ka ndị mba ọzọ nata onyinye Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Nʼihi na ha nụrụ ka ha na-ekwu okwu nʼasụsụ dị iche iche na-etokwa Chineke. Mgbe ahụ Pita jụrụ,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
“Ọ dị onye pụrụ igbochi anyị ime ndị a baptizim. Ndị natara Mmụọ Nsọ dị ka anyị onwe anyị?”
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Nʼihi nke a, o nyere iwu ka e mee ha baptizim nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst. Ha rịọrọ ya ka ọ nọnyere ha ụbọchị ole na ole.
